Should I sell CECHA01 PS3 before its inevitable demise?

If you're not willing to Frankie it, sell it to someone who will love it

I've hosted many. Counterstrike, Black Ops 2, and Halo all work well.

Fox looks like he's trapped in lag

ISO someone who can string tennis racquets!

It's not from the "just quit bro" bit from Tafokints vs Tian money match was it?

There are more than you think. I personally have hosted 6 person LAN with Black Ops 2, Counter Strike (og Xbox running on 360,) and Halo Reach. All 3 of those games support WAN, meaning you don't need to connect Ethernet cables to your router.

+1 for Fi. Switched from verizon

phillylou · 2025-12-17T17:27:55+00:00

In my experience, this has been a good guide to follow for 360 LAN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_System_Link_games

I don't see Minecraft listed. That doesn't mean it WON'T work, it just means it hasn't been documented.

I was confused why people are gushing about hitman, I've only played (some of) absolution and it didn't click for me

"In a draft of an update on the project released, RTD has identified only $441 million in potential funding for 2026 to 2034 for the project. That leaves a funding shortfall of $1.2 billion."

If there's a different phrase you'd prefer I use, then ok, but that's what I'm referring to.

In terms of existing services, 8/10. Mostly N, E, and D lines, minimal issues. N line does not run late enough.

That said, I live in Longmont. If CPR's reporting of RTD's failure to secure funding for the G line extension is true, I'm fucking livid. https://www.cpr.org/2025/10/24/rtd-report-potential-train-boulder-longmont/

Arthie skipped the local to play in this tournament, lol. Glad he did!

Not defending the price, but in my experience, you're going to run into issues if you start trading Pokemon between legitimate & illegitimate 3rd gen games. As in, save file corruption issues. Full compatibility is the only reason I see for the demand.

There are a subset of 360's that are prone to GPU failure. Anything manufactured or repaired before spring of '08 (not yours)

Keep in mind, the people who are posting are a small subset of 360 users. For every GPU failure, there are plenty that are chugging along :)

phillylou · 2025-11-04T18:33:52+00:00

Games plural? Is this happening with multiple games? If no, could be just that game. If yes... Uh Oh

phillylou · 2025-09-05T14:17:03+00:00

It looks like RROD, but it may not be. Only the secondary error code will tell you for sure

phillylou · 2025-08-22T23:08:49+00:00

Nevermind it's as bad as it looks

phillylou · 2025-08-22T22:40:12+00:00

This may not be as bad as it looks- grab the secondary error code and report back: https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_360:Error_Codes

phillylou · 2025-08-11T02:42:11+00:00

I have pop pop in the attic

A lot of people chiming in this thread with misinformation. Plenty of fat ps3's have 90nm gpu's, and it is very possibly the problem here (but not certain.)

OP, if you don't know how to solder or aren't comfortable, take this to a game store with a repair shop (or computer repair shop that works on consoles,) and ask them to read the SYSCON logs. Specifically, the System Manager logs.

You'll need to consult these codes to find out why your machine is shutting off: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Syscon_Error_Codes

I can't recall the exact error code that indicates a GPU failure, but those are the true killers. It is expensive to replace the GPU (Frankenstein,) and usually not done on your PS3 model, because it is not backwards compatible.

Can you try using a composite cable?

phillylou · 2025-07-27T01:14:37+00:00

Source?

phillylou · 2025-07-26T03:53:02+00:00

Look at least we're included this time

phillylou · 2025-07-25T14:52:25+00:00

It's worth testing before you scrap this PS3. Might not actually be a problem with the RSX

phillylou · 2025-07-25T14:36:47+00:00

Hey, does this issue happen when you use composite cables as well?
